The aim of this article is to consider the existence of solutions, finiteness of moments, and exponential p-stability of stochastic ∇-dynamic equations on an arbitrary closed subset of R, via Lyapunov functions. This work can be considered as a unification and generalization of works dealing with random difference and stochastic differential equations. 1. Introduction The direct method has become the most widely used tool for studying the exponential stability of stochastic equations. For differential equations, we mention the very interesting book by Khas’minskii [12] in which author uses the Lyapunov functions to study stability. Foss and Konstantopoulos [8] presented an overview of stochastic stability methods, mostly motivated by stochastic network applications. Socha [24] considered the exponential p-stability of singularly perturbed stochastic systems for the “slow” and “fast” components of the full-order system. Govindan [9] proved the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution under two sets of hypotheses and considered the exponential second moment stability of the solution process for stochastic semilinear functional differential equations in a Hilbert space. We also refer to [15, 16] in which authors considered stochastic asymptotic stability and boundedness for stochastic differential equations with respect to semimartingale via multiple Lyapunov functions. The long-time behavior of densities of the solutions is studied in [20] by using Khas’minskii function. For random difference systems, we can refer the reader to [18, 22, 23], for stability of nonlinear systems. Recently, a method for the unified analysis of equations of motion in continuous and discrete cases within the framework of the theory of time scales has drawn a lot attention. For deterministic cases, in [4], author used the Lyapunov function of quadratic form to study the stability of linear dynamic equations. Hoffacker and Tisdell examined the stability and instability of the equilibrium point of nonlinear dynamic equations [13]. Martynyuk presented systematically the stability theory of dynamic equations in [17]. While the stability of deterministic dynamic equations on time scales has been investigated for a long time, as far as we know, there is not much in mathematical 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 60H10, 34A40, 34D20, 39A13, 34N05.

Here, we mention some of the first attempts on this direction. In [11], the authors developed the theory of Brownian motion. Sanyal in his Ph. D. Dissertation [21] tries to define stochastic integral and stochastic dynamic equations on time scale with the positive graininess. Lungan and Lupulescu in [14] consider random dynamical systems with random ∆-integral. Gravagne and Robert deal with the bilateral Laplace transforms in [10]. The Doob-Meyer decomposition theorem and definition of stochastic ∇-integral with respect to square integrable martingale on any arbitrary time scale also Itô’s formula are studied in [6, 7]. Recently, Bohner et al [3] investigate stochastic dynamic equations on time scale by considering an integral with respect to the restriction of a standard Wiener process on time scale. However, this way can not be applied to define the stochastic integral in general case since when one deals with a martingale defined on time scale and we do not know whenever it can be extended to a regular martingale on R. The aim of this article is to use Lyapunov functions to consider the existence, finiteness of moments, and long term behavior of solutions for ∇-stochastic dynamic equations on arbitrary closed subset of R. We study d∇ X(t) = f (t, X(t− ))d∇ t + g(t, X(t− ))d∇ M (t) X(a) = xa ∈ Rd , t ∈ Ta , where (Mt )t∈Ta is a R-valued square integrable martingale and f : Ta × R → R and g : Ta × R → R are two Borel functions. We emphasis that martingale M is defined only on Ta . This work can be considered as a unification and generalization of works dealing with these areas of stochastic difference and differential equations. In working on stochastic multi-dimensional dynamic equations with respect to discontinuous martingale on time scales, it rises many difficulties, especially the complicated calculations and they require some improvements. Besides, some estimates of stochastic calculus for continuous time are not automatically valid on arbitrary time scale and we need to change them into a suitable form to obtain similar results. The organization of this paper is as follows. We introduce some basic notion and definitions for time scale and for square integrable martingales in Section 2. Section 3 deals with the existence and the finiteness of moments of solutions for stochastic dynamic equations with respect to a square integrable martingale in case the coefficients satisfy locally Lipschitz conditions. Section 4 is concerned with necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponential p-stability of stochastic dynamic equations. 2. Preliminaries Let T be a closed subset of R, enclosed with the topology inherited from the standard topology on R. Let σ(t) = inf{s ∈ T : s > t}, µ(t) = σ(t) − t and ρ(t) = sup{s ∈ T : s < t}, ν(t) = t − ρ(t) (supplemented by sup ∅ = inf T, inf ∅ = sup T). A point t ∈ T is said to be right-dense if σ(t) = t, right-scattered if σ(t) > t, left-dense if ρ(t) = t, left-scattered if ρ(t) < t and isolated if t is simultaneously right-scattered and left-scattered. The set k T is defined to be T if T does not have a right-scattered minimum; otherwise it is T without this right-scattered minimum. Similarly, Tk is defined to be T if T does not have a left-scattered maximum; otherwise it is T without this left-scattered maximum. A function f defined on T is regulated if EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 3 there exist the left-sided limit at every left-dense point and right-sided limit at every right-dense point. A regulated function is called ld-continuous if it is continuous at every left-dense point. Similarly, one has the notion of rd-continuous. For every a, b ∈ T, by [a, b], we mean the set {t ∈ T : a ≤ t ≤ b}. Denote Ta = {t ∈ T : t ≥ a} and by R (resp. R+ ) the set of all rd-continuous and regressive (resp. positive regressive) functions. For any function f defined on T, we write f ρ for the function f ◦ ρ; i.e., ftρ = f (ρ(t)) for all t ∈k T and limσ(s)↑t f (s) by f (t− ) or ft− if this limit exists. It is easy to see that if t is left-scattered then ft− = ftρ . Let I = {t : t is left-scattered}. Clearly, the set I of all left-scattered points of T is at most countable. Throughout of this paper, we suppose that the time scale T has bounded graininess, that is ν∗ = sup{ν(t) : t ∈k T} < ∞. Let A be an increasing right continuous function defined on T. We denote by associated with A. For any µA µA ∇ -measurable function ∇ the Lebesgue ∇-measure Rt f : T → R we write a fτ ∇Aτ for the integral of f with respect to the measures µA ∇ Rt on (a, t]. It is seen that the function t → a fτ ∇Aτ is cadlag. It is continuous if A Rt Rt is continuous. In case A(t) ≡ t we write simply a fτ ∇τ for a fτ ∇Aτ . For details, we can refer to [5]. In general, there is no relation between the ∆-integral and ∇-integral. However, in case the integrand f is regulated one has Z b Z b f (τ− )∇τ = f (τ )∆τ ∀a, b ∈ Tk , a a Indeed, by [5, Theorem 6.5], Z b Z X f (τ )∆τ = f (τ )dτ + f (s)µ(s) a [a;b) a≤s<b Z = f (τ− )dτ + (a,b] X Z b f (s− )ν(s) = f (τ− )∇τ. a a<s≤b Therefore, if p ∈ R then the exponential function ep (t, t0 ), defined by [2, Definition 2.30, pp. 59], is solution of the initial value problem y ∇ (t) = p(t− )y(t− ), y(t0 ) = 1, t > t0 . (2.1) Also if p ∈ R, ep (t, t0 ) is the solution of the equation y ∇ (t) = −p(t− )y(t), where p(t) = −p(t) 1+µ(t)p(t) . y(t0 ) = 1, t > t0 , Later, we need the following lemma. Lemma 2.1 ([2, 7]). Let u(t) be a regulated function and ua , α ∈ R+ . Then, the inequality Z t u(t) ≤ ua + α u(τ− )∇τ ∀t ∈ Ta a implies u(t) ≤ ua eα (t, a) ∀t ∈ Ta . 4 H. D. NGUYEN, T. D. NGUYEN, A. T. LE EJDE-2015/285 Let (Ω, F, {Ft }t∈Ta , P) be a probability space with filtration {Ft }t∈Ta satisfying the usual conditions (i.e., {Ft }t∈Ta is increasing and ∩{Fρ(s) : s ∈ T, s > t} = Ft for all t ∈ Ta while Fa contains all P -null sets). Denote by M2 the set of the square integrable Ft -martingales and by Mr2 the subspace of the space M2 consisting of martingales with continuous characteristics. For any M ∈ M2 , set X ct = Mt − M (Ms − Mρ(s) ). s∈(a,t] ct is an Ft -martingale and M ct = M cρ(t) for any t ∈ T. Further, It is clear that M X cit = hM it − hM (hM is − hM iρ(s) ). (2.2) s∈(a,t] c ∈ Mr . In this case, M c can be extended to a Therefore, M ∈ Mr2 if and only if M 2 regular martingale defined on R. Denote by B the class of Borel sets in R whose closure does not contain the point 0. Let δ(t, A) be the number of jumps of the M on the (a, t] whose values fall into the set A ∈ B. Since the sample functions of the martingale M are cadlag, the process δ(t, A) is defined with probability 1 for all t ∈ Ta , A ∈ B. We extend its definition over the whole Ω by setting δ(t, A) ≡ 0 if the sample t → Mt (ω) is not cadlag. Clearly the process δ(t, A) is Ft -adapted and its sample functions are nonnegative, monotonically nondecreasing, continuous from the right b A) for M ct by a similar way. Let and take on integer values. We also define δ(t, e δ(t, A) = ]{s ∈ (a, t] : Ms − Mρ(s) ∈ A}. It is evident that b A) + δ(t, e A). δ(t, A) = δ(t, (2.3) b ·) and δ(t, e ·) are measures. Further, for fixed t, δ(t, ·), δ(t, b e The functions δ(t, A), δ(t, A) and δ(t, A), t ∈ Ta are Ft -regular submartingales for fixed A. By Doob-Meyer decomposition, each process has a unique representation of the form δ(t, A) = ζ(t, A) + π(t, A), b A) = ζ(t, b A) + π δ(t, b(t, A), e A) = ζ(t, e A) + π δ(t, e(t, A), where π(t, A), π b(t, A) and π e(t, A) are natural increasing integrable processes and b e ζ(t, A), ζ(t, A), ζ(t, A) are martingales. We find a version of these processes such that they are measures when t is fixed. By denoting ctc = M ct − M ctd , M where ctd = M Z tZ b uζ(∇τ, du), a R we obtain cit = hM cc it + hM cd it , hM cd it = hM Z tZ a R u2 π b(∇τ, du). (2.4) Throughout this article, we suppose that hM it is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure µ∇ , i.e., there exists Ft -adapted progressively measurable EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 5 process Kt such that t Z hM it = Kτ ∇τ.

Thus, there exists Ft -adapted, progressively b tc and K b td satisfying measurable bounded process K Z t Z t c c d c b c b τd ∇τ, hM it = Kτ ∇τ, hM it = K a a and the following relation holds b tc + K b td ≤ N } = 1. P{ sup K a≤t≤T Moreover, it is easy to show that π b(t, A) is absolutely continuous with respect to µ∇ on T, that is, it can be expressed as Z t b A)∇τ, π b(t, A) = Υ(τ, (2.7) a b A). Since B is generated with an Ft -adapted, progressively measurable process Υ(t, b A) such that the by a countable family of Borel sets, we can find a version of Υ(t, b A) is measurable and for t fixed, Υ(t, b ·) is a measure. Hence, from map t → Υ(t, (2.4) we see that Z tZ cd it = b du))∇τ. hM u2 Υ(τ, a This means that bd = K t R Z b du)). u2 Υ(t, R For the process π e(t, A) we can write X π e(t, A) = E[1A (Ms − Mρ(s) )Fρ(s) ]. s∈(a,t] Putting ( E[1 e A) = Υ(t, A (Mt −Mρ(t) )|Fρ(t) ] ν(t) 0 if ν(t) > 0, if ν(t) = 0 yields Z π e(t, A) = t e A)∇τ.

Let C 1,2 (Ta × Rd ; R) be the set of all functions V (t, x) defined on Ta × Rd , having continuous ∇-derivative in t and continuous second derivative in x. Using the Itô’s formula in [7] we see that for any V ∈ C 1,2 (Ta × Rd ; R+ ) Z t V (t, X(t)) − V (a, X(a)) − V ∇τ (τ, X(τ− )) + AV (τ, X(τ− )) ∇τ (2.11) a is a locally integrable martingale, where V ∇t is partial ∇-derivative of V (t, x) in t. 3. Existence of solutions and finiteness of moments for stochastic dynamic equations Consider a ∇-stochastic dynamic equations on T of the form d∇ X(t) = f (t, X(t− ))d∇ t + g(t, X(t− ))d∇ M (t) X(a) = xa ∈ Rd , t ∈ Ta , (3.1) where f : Ta × Rd → Rd and g : Ta × Rd → Rd are two Borel functions. Under the global Lipschitz and linear growth rate conditions of the coefficients f, g, there exists uniquely a solution for Cauchy problem (3.1) (see: [7]). We now consider the case where the coefficients are locally Lipschitz. EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 7 Theorem 3.1. Suppose that for any k > 0 and T > a, there exists a constant LT,k > 0 such that kf (t, x) − f (t, y)k2 ∨ kg(t, x) − g(t, y)k2 ≤ LT,k kx − yk2 , (3.2) for all x, y ∈ Rd with kxk ∨ kyk ≤ k and t ∈ [a, T ]. Further, there are positive constants c = c(T ); b = b(T ) and a nonnegative function V ∈ C 1,2 ([a, T ] × Rd ; R+ ) satisfying V ∇t (t, x) + AV (t, x) ≤ cV (t− , x) + b ∀(t, x) ∈ [a, T ] × Rd , (3.3) and limx→∞ inf t∈[a,T ] V (t, x) = ∞. Then, (3.1) has a unique solution Xa,xa (t) defined on Ta . In addition, if there exists a positive constant c1 = c1 (T ) such that c1 kxkp ≤ V (t, x) ∀(t, x) ∈ [a, T ] × Rd , (3.4) then EkXa,xa (t)kp ≤ 1 b (V (a, xa ) + )ec (t, a) c1 c ∀t ∈ [a, T ]. Proof. For each k ≥ k0 = [kxa k] + 1, define the truncation function ( f (t, x) if kxk ≤ k fk (t, x) = kx f (t, kxk ) if kxk > k, and gk (t, x) is defined by a similar way. The functions fk and gk satisfy the global Lipschitz condition and the linear growth rate condition. Hence, by [7, Theorem 3.2] there exists a unique solution Xk (·) to the equation d∇ X(t) = fk (t, X(t− ))d∇ t + gk (t, X(t− ))d∇ M (t) X(a) = xa ∈ Rd , ∀t ∈ [a, T ]. (3.5) Define the stopping time θk = inf{t ∈ [a, T ] : |Xk (t)| ≥ k}, θk0 = a. It is easy to see that θk is increasing and Xk (t) = Xk+1 (t) if a ≤ t ≤ θk . (3.6) Let θ∞ = limk→∞ θk and the process Xa,xa (t) = X(t), a ≤ t ≤ θ∞ be given by X(t) = Xk (t), θk−1 ≤ t < θk , k ≥ k0 . Using (3.6) one gets X(t ∧ θk ) = Xk (t ∧ θk ). It follows from (3.5) that Z t∧θk Z t∧θk X(t ∧ θk ) = xa + fk (τ, X(τ− ))∇τ + gk (τ, X(τ− ))∇Mτ a Z t∧θk Z a t∧θk f (τ, X(τ− ))∇τ + = xa + a g(τ, X(τ− ))∇Mτ , a for any t ∈ [a, T ] and k ≥ 1. We show that limk→∞ θk = T a.s. Indeed, by (2.11) it yields Z t∧θk E[V (θk ∧ t, X(θk ∧ t))] = V (a, xa ) + E V ∇τ (τ, X(τ− )) + AV (τ, X(τ− )) ∇τ a Z t ≤ V (a, xa ) + (cEV (θk ∧ τ− , X(θk ∧ τ− )) + b)∇τ. a 8 H. D. NGUYEN, T. D.

LE EJDE-2015/285 Using Lemma 2.1 with the function u(t) = E[V (θk ∧ t, X(θk ∧ t))] + EV (θn ∧ t, X(θn ∧ t)) ≤ V (a, xa ) + b c gets b ec (t, a). c On the other hand, on the set {θ∞ < T } we have lim supt→θ∞ kX(t)k = ∞. Therefore, the assumption limx→∞ inf t∈[a,T ] V (t, x) = ∞ follows P{θ∞ < T } = 0, i.e., the solution Xa,xa (t) is defined on Ta . The uniqueness follows immediately from the uniqueness of solutions of (3.5). When the condition (3.4) is satisfied we see that b c1 EkXa,xa (t ∧ θn )kp ≤ E[V (t ∧ θn , Xa,xa (t ∧ θn ))] ≤ (V (a, xa ) + )ec (t, a). c Letting n → ∞ yields b c1 EkXa,xa (t)kp ≤ (V (a, xa ) + )ec (t, a) c or EkXa,xa (t)kp ≤ 1 b (V (a, xa ) + )ec (t, a). c1 c The proof is complete.

We suppose further that R |u|Υ(t, Then (3.1) has a unique solution Xa,xa (t) defined on Ta satisfying EkXa,xa (t)k2 ≤ (1 + kxa k2 )ec (t, a), where c is a constant. R Proof. From (2.4), (2.7), it follows that R u2 Υ(t, du) < N for all t ∈ [a, T ].

Moreover, kxk2 ≤ 1 + kxk2 = V (x). Thus, (3.3) and (3.4) are satisfied. Using Theorem 3.1 we can complete the proof. EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 9 We note that in the continuous case, if the linear growth rate condition (3.7) holds and the boundedness conditions (2.5), (2.6) of characteristic hM it are satisfied, then all moments of the solutions are finite. This property may no longer valid on time scale as it is shown in the following example. Example 3.3.

P P It is seen that 8/3 ≥ j∈Z\{0} |j|−4 > Ci−1 > j∈Z\{0} |j|−5 > 1 and E[ξ2 | ξ1 ] = 0. Therefore, the sequence M1 = ξ1 and M2 = ξ1 + ξ2 is a martingale. Further, X E[ξ22 | ξ1 = i] = j 2 P[ξ2 = j | ξ1 = i] j∈Z\{0} j2 X = Ci 1 4+ |i| |j| j∈Z\{0} X ≤ Ci j∈Z\{0} 1 . |j|2 Thus hM it is bounded.

Since R |u|2 Υ(t, du) = hM it ≤ N := m2 , we can suppose that p ≥ 2. Applying (2.10) to the Lyapunov function V (t, x) = kxkp we have AV (t, x) = pkxkp−2 (1 − 1I (t))xT f (t, x) + (kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp − kxkp )Φ(t) p b c + p(p − 2) kxkp−4 |xT g(t, x)|2 K bc + kxkp−2 kg(t, x)k2 K t t 2 2 Z + [kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + g(t, x)ukp − kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp ]Υ(t, du) R Z b du). − pkxkp−2 xT g(t, x) uΥ(t, R Using Taylor’s expansion for the function kx + ykp at y = 0 obtains kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp − kxkp p = pkxkp−2 x> f (t, x)ν(t) + kx + θf (t, x)ν(t)kp−2 kf (t, x)k2 ν(t)2 2 p(p − 2) + kx + θf (t, x)ν(t)kp−4 |(x + θf (t, x)ν(t))> f (t, x)|2 ν(t)2 . 2 where 0 ≤ θ ≤ 1.

Similarly, the Taylor’s expansion of the function kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + ykp at y = 0 leads us kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + g(t, x)ukp − kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp = pkx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp−2 (x + f (t, x)ν(t))> g(t, x)u p + kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)ukp−2 kg(t, x)uk2 2 p(p − 2) + kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)ukp−4 2 × |(x + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)u)> g(t, x)u|2 , where 0 ≤ η ≤ 1. By defining cp = 2p−1 if p > 1 and cp = 1 if p ≤ 1 we have kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp−2 (x + f (t, x)ν(t))> g(t, x)u ≤ kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp−1 kg(t, x)uk √ √ ≤ G(1 + Gν∗ )p−1 |u|(1 + kxk2 )p/2 , EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 11 and kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)ukp−2 kg(t, x)uk2 ≤ cp−2 (kx + f (t, x)ν(t)kp−2 + (kg(t, x)ku)p−2 )kg(t, x)uk2 √ ≤ cp−2 (G(1 + Gν∗ )p−2 u2 + Gp/2 |u|p )(1 + kxk2 )p/2 . Further, kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)ukp−4 |(x + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)u)> g(t, x)u|2 ≤ kx + f (t, x)ν(t) + ηg(t, x)ukp−2 kg(t, x)uk2 √ ≤ cp−2 (G(1 + Gν∗ )p−2 u2 + Gp/2 |u|p )(1 + kxk2 )p/2 .

D. NGUYEN, T. D. NGUYEN, A. T. LE EJDE-2015/285 4. Exponential p-stability By (2.1), the ∆-exponential function ep is also a solution of a ∇-dynamic equations. Therefore, in the following, instead of using ebp , we use ep to define the exponential stability although we are working with stochastic ∇-dynamic equations. Let the process Kt be bounded on Ta , i.e., the constant N in (2.5) does not depend on T > a. Suppose that for any s ≥ a; xs ∈ Rd , the solution Xs,xs (t) with initial condition Xs,xs (s) = xs of (3.1) exists uniquely and it is defined on Ts . Further, f (t, 0) ≡ 0; g(t, 0) ≡ 0. (4.1) This assumption implies that (3.1) has the trivial solution Xs,0 (t) ≡ 0. Definition 4.1. The trivial solution of (3.1) is said to be exponentially p-stable if there is a positive constant α such that for any s > a there exists Γ = Γ(s) > 1, such that EkXs,xs (t)kp ≤ Γkxs kp eα (t, s) on t ≥ s, (4.2) d holds for all xs ∈ R . If one can choose Γ independent of s, the trivial solution of (3.1) is said to be uniformly exponentially p-stable. α α (t, s) for all t ∈ T, 0 < eα (t, s) ≤ e− 1+αν Remark 4.2. Since α(t) ≤ − 1+αν ∗ ∗ α and e− 1+αν (t, s) → 0 as t → ∞. Thus, if α > 0 then limt→∞ eα (t, s) = 0. The ∗ advantage of using eα (t, s) is that the requirement −α ∈ R+ is not necessary. Theorem 4.3. Suppose that there exist a function V (t, x) ∈ C 1,2 (Ta × Rd ; R+ ), positive constants α1 , α2 , α3 such that α1 kxkp ≤ V (t, x) ≤ α2 kxkp , V ∇t (t, x) + AV (t, x) ≤ −α3 V (t− , x) (4.3) d ∀(t, x) ∈ Ta × R , (4.4) where the differential operator Ais defined with respect to (3.1). Then, the trivial solution x ≡ 0 of (3.1) is uniformly exponentially p-stable. α Proof. Let α be a positive number satisfying 1+αν(t) < α3 for all t ∈ T and let d s ≥ a, xs ∈ R . To simplify notations, we write X(t) for Xs,xs (t). For each n > kxs k, define the stopping time θn = inf{t ≥ s : kX(t)k ≥ n}. Obviously, θn → ∞ as n → ∞ almost surely. By (4.13), calculating expectations we obtain E[eα (t ∧ θn , s)V (t ∧ θn , X(t ∧ θn ))] Z t∧θn h = V (s, xs ) + E eα (θn ∧ τ− , s) αV (τ− , X(τ− )) s i + (1 + αν(τ ))(V ∇τ (τ, X(τ− )) + AV (τ, X(τ− ))) ∇τ. Using (4.4) and the inequality α 1+αν(t) < α3 obtains αV (τ− , X(τ− )) + (1 + αν(τ )) V ∇τ (τ, X(τ− )) + AV (τ, X(τ− )) ≤ 0. Therefore, α1 eα (t ∧ θn , s)EkX(t ∧ θn )kp ≤ E[eα (t ∧ θn , s)V (t ∧ θn , X(t ∧ θn ))] EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 13 ≤ V (s, xs ) ≤ α2 kxs kp . Letting n → ∞ yields α1 eα (t, s)EkX(t)kp ≤ α2 kxs kp . Hence, EkXs,xs (t)kp ≤ α2 kxs kp eα (t, s). α1 The proof is complete. We now consider the inverse problem by showing that if the trivial solution of (3.1) is uniformly exponentially p-stable then such a Lyapunov function exits. Firstly, we study the differentiability of solutions with respect to the initial conditions and the continuity with respect to coefficients. Lemma 4.4 (Burkholder inequality on time scales).

Suppose that the condition (3.8) holds and process ζ(t) is the solution of the stochastic equation Z t Z t ζ(t) = ϕ(t) + ψ(τ )ζ(τ− )∇τ + χ(τ )ζ(τ− )∇Mτ , ∀t ∈ [s, T ].

Suppose that the coefficients of (3.1) are continuous in s, x and they have continuous bounded first and second partial derivatives and condition (3.8) holds for p ≥ 4. Then, the solution Xs,x (t), s ≤ t ≤ T , with initial condition Xs,x (s) = x of (3.1) is twice differentiable with respect to x.

Thus, E max{|φ0 |, |φ0 +∆φ|}m(β−2) < ∞. Therefore, |F (φ0 + ∆φ) − F (φ0 ) − βE|φ0 |β−1 ∆φ| ≤ β(β − 1)[E|η|m(β−2) ]1/m [E(∆φ)p ]2/p = O(1)|∆φ|2p as |∆φ|p → 0. This means F 0 (φ0 )(φ) = βE|φ0 |β−1 φ. The existence and continuity of the second derivative F 00 con be proved by a similar way. Lemma 4.9. Let the coefficients of (3.1) be continuous in t, x and satisfy the conditions (4.1). Suppose also that conditions of Lemma 4.7 are satisfied and 2 ≤ β ≤ p. Then, for fixed t > a, the function u(s, x) = EkXs,x (t)kβ ; a < s < t is twice continuously differentiable with respect to x except perhaps at x = 0. Proof. The map x → Xs,x (t) is twice differentiable in x by Lemma 4.7. The map X → kXk from Rd to R and the map F (φ) = E|φ|β from Lp (Ω, F, P) to R are also twice differentiable. Therefore by chain rule, the map u(s, x) = EkXs,x (t)kβ is twice differentiable. Further, u0x (s, x)h = βE[kXs,x (t)kβ−2 < Xs,x (t), ζs,x (t)h >] h u00xx (s, x)h2 = βE (β − 2)kXs,x (t)kβ−4 hXs,x (t), ζs,x (t)hi2 (4.15) i. + kXs,x (t)kβ−2 kζs,x (t)hk2 + kXs,x (t)kβ−2 hXs,x (t), ηs,x (t)h2 i The proof is complete. Theorem 4.10. Let M have independent increments and the conditions of Lemma 4.7 hold and 2 ≤ β ≤ p. Suppose further that AV (t, x) is ld-continuous in (t, x) for all V ∈ C 1,2 (Ta × Rd ; R). Then, the function u(s, x) = EkXs,x (t)kβ , a < s < t is ∇-differentiable in s, twice continuously differentiable with respect to x and satisfies the equation u∇s (s, x) + Au(s, x) = 0. (4.16) Proof. By Lemma 4.7, u(s, x) is twice differentiable in x. From (4.2), (4.8), (4.9), Rt (4.12) and (4.15), it follows that s Au(h, Xs,x (τ− ))∇τ is integrable. Therefore, Z r u(h, Xρ(s),x (r)) − u(h, x) − Au(h, Xρ(s),x (τ− ))∇τ, s ≤ r ≤ h ≤ t ρ(s) 20 H. D. NGUYEN, T. D. NGUYEN, A. T. LE EJDE-2015/285 is an Fr -martingale. In particular, Z h Eu(h, Xρ(s),x (h)) − u(h, x) = EAu(h, Xρ(s),x (τ− ))∇τ. ρ(s) Since Mt has independent increments, Xh,y (t) is independent of Xρ(s),x (h) when s ≤ h ≤ t and y ∈ Rd , which implies that Eu(h, Xρ(s),x (h)) = u(ρ(s), x). Thus, Z h u(ρ(s), x) − u(h, x) 1 EAu(h, Xρ(s),x (τ− ))∇τ. = ρ(s) − h ρ(s) − h ρ(s) If s is left-scattered, then u∇s (s, x) = − 1 ν(s) Z s Au(s, Xρ(s),x (τ− ))∇τ = −Au(s, x). ρ(s) In the s is left-dense we let h → s to obtain u∇s (s, x) = −Au(s, x). The proof is complete. Theorem 4.11. Let the conditions in Theorem 4.10 hold. Suppose that for any fixed T > 0, there exist a function γT : T → T with γ(T, s) ≥ s + T for all s ∈ T such that γ(T, s) and ∇-derivatives γ ∇s (T, s) are bounded. If the trivial solution of (3.1) is uniformly exponentially β-stable, then there exists a function V (s, x) ∈ C 1,2 (Ta × Rd ; R+ ) satisfying inequalities (4.3), (4.4) (with the power β). Proof. By Lemma 4.9 and Theorem 4.10, the function Z γ(T,s) EkXs,x (τ− )kβ ∇τ, V (s, x) = (4.17) s is in class C 1,2 (Ta × Rd ; R+ ). From (4.2), Z γ(T,s− ) V (s− , x) ≤ Γkxkβ eα (τ− , s− )∇τ ≤ α1 kxkβ , s− Γ(1+ν∗ α) . α where α1 = By assumptions, the trivial solution of (3.1) is uniformly exponentially β-stable and γ ∇s (T, s) is bounded, we can choose T > 0 such that 1 1 kxkβ , EkXs,x (γ(T, s))kβ γ ∇s (T, s) < kxkβ . (4.18) 2 2 Since f and g have bounded partial derivatives and f (t, 0) = 0, g(t, 0) = 0, EkXs,x (γ(T, s))kβ < kf (t, x)k ≤ Gkxk, kg(t, x)k ≤ Gkxk, t ≥ a, x ∈ Rd . Therefore, kA[kxkβ ](s, x)k < c1 kxkβ , (4.19) β for a certain constant c1 . Applying Itô’s formula to the function kxk and using (4.19) yields Z γ(T,s) EA(kXs,x (τ− )kβ )∇τ EkXs,x (γ(T, s))kβ − kxkβ = s Z ≥ −c1 s γ(T,s) EkXs,x (τ− )kβ ∇τ = −c1 V (s, x). EJDE-2015/285 EXPONENTIAL P -STABILITY 21 Combining with (4.18) we obtain the inequality V (s, x) > α2 kxkβ with α2 = 2c11 . Thus, the function V satisfies condition (4.3). Using [2, Theorem 5.80] to calculate ∇-differential of V with respect s and applying Theorem 4.10 we obtain V ∇s (s, x) + AV (s, x) = EkXs− ,x (γ(T, s− ))kβ γ ∇s (T, s− ) − kxkβ . Using (4.18) again we have 1 1 V (s− , x). V ∇s (s, x) + AV (s, x) ≤ − kxkβ ≤ − 2 2α1 Thus, the function V satisfies all conditions (4.3), (4.4) with α3 = proof is complete. α 2Γ(1+ν∗ α) . The Example 4.12. Consider the linear stochastic dynamic equation d∇ X(t) = aX(t− )d∇ t + bX(t− )d∇ M (t) ∀t ∈ Ts X(s) = x, (4.20) where a, b are two constants, a is regressive and M is a square integrable martingale having independent increment. By direct calculation we have Z t 2 2 EXs,x (t) = x2 + q(τ )EXs,x (τ− )∇τ, (4.21) s where Z c 2 b q(t) = 2a + b Kt + a ν(t) + 2b(1 + aν(t)) uΥ(t, du) R Z Z 2 2 b du) +b u Υ(t, du) − 2b uΥ(t, R R Z b tc + a2 ν(t) + 2b uΥ(t, e du) = 2a + b2 K R Z Z 2 2 +b u Υ(t, du) + aν(s) uΥ(t, du). 2 R R R R e du) = E[Mt − Mρ(t) |Fρ(t) ] = 0 and ν(t) uΥ(t, du) = 0, Since R uΥ(t, R Z b tc + a2 ν(t) + b2 u2 Υ(t, du). q(t) = 2a + b2 K (4.22) R We define the function q̄(t) = limρ(s)↓t q(s). It is seen that q̄ is rd-continuous and q̄(t) = q(σ(t)) if t is right scattered. Since {t : µ(t) > 0} is countable and 2 2 meas{t : EXs,x (t− ) 6= EXs,x (t)} = 0, Z t Z X 2 2 2 q(τ )EXs,x (τ− )∇τ = q(τ )EXs,x (τ− ) dτ + q(τ )EXs,x (τ− )ν(τ ) s (s,t] Z s<τ ≤t 2 q̄(τ )EXs,x (τ ) dτ + = [s,t) Z = X 2 q(σ(τ ))EXs,x (τ )µ(τ ) s≤τ <t t 2 q(τ )EXs,x (τ )∆τ, s from which it follows that 2 EXs,x (t) = x2 eq (t, s), t ≥ s. (4.23) 22 H. D. NGUYEN, T. D. NGUYEN, A. T. LE EJDE-2015/285 Further, it is known that 0 < eq (t, s) = exp Z t lim s h&µ(τ ) ln(1 + q(τ )h) ∆τ . h Then, condition (4.2) implies Z t ln(1 + q(τ )h) lim ∆τ ≤ ln Γ − θ(t − s) ∀t > s. h h&µ(τ ) s Choose T > 0 such that ln Γ − θT 2 < 0 we obtain Z t ln(1 + q(τ )h) θ(t − s) lim ∆τ ≤ − h 2 h&µ(τ ) s ∀t > s + T. Thus, the exponential square stability of (4.20) implies Z t 1 ln(1 + q(τ )h) lim ∆τ : t > s + T < 0. sup t − s s h&µ(τ ) h (4.24) Conversely, supposing that (4.24) holds, there are α > 0, K ∗ > 0 such that 0 < eq̄ (t, s) ≤ K ∗ e−α (t, s). By using (4.23) we see that the trivial solution of is exponentially square stable. To illustrate the argument in the proof of Theorem 4.11 to construct a Lyapunov function we put Z ∞ V (s, x) = x2 eq̄ (τ− , s)∇τ = x2 Q(s). s By direct calculation we have Q∇s (s) = −1 − q(s)Q(s). Hence, V ∇s (s, x) + AV (s, x) = Q∇s (s)x2 + q(s)Q(s)x2 = (−q(s)Q(s) − 1)x2 + q(s)Q(s)x2 = −x2 . (4.25) 2 (t) = 0 we can show that V (s, x) ≥ α1 x2 Using (4.21) and the fact limt→∞ EXs,x ∗ with α1 = (supt |q(t)|)−1 . Further, eq̄ (t, s) ≤ K ∗ e−α (t, s). Thus, V (s, x) ≤ Kα x2 . Combining (4.25) and these inequalities obtains α V ∇s (s, x) + AV (s, x) ≤ − ∗ V (s− , x). K Thus, the conditions of Theorem 4.3 are satisfied. The proof is complete. Acknowledgements.
